Web Field/UCI/Package Option
Description
Web: RIP Enabled
UCI: ripd.ripd.enabled
Opt: enabled
Enables RIP advertisements on router.
0
Disabled.
1
Enabled.
Web: RIP Version
UCI: ripd.ripd.version
Opt: version
Specifies the RIP version that will be used. Version 2 is
recommended.
1
RIP version 1
2
RIP version 2
Web: Network/Interface
UCI: ripd.ripd.network
Opt: list network
Defines the list of the interfaces that will be used to advertise RIP
packets.
Format: A.B.C.D/mask or interface name
Multiple RIP interfaces are entered using
uci set
and
uci
add_list
commands. Example:
uci set ripd.ripd.network=lan1
uci add_list ripd.ripd.network=lan2
or using a list of options via package options
list network ‘lan1’
list network ‘lan2’
Web: RIP Neighbor Address
UCI: ripd.ripd.neighbor
Opt: list neighbor
Specifies the list of RIP neighbours. When a neighbour doesn’t
understand multicast, this command is used to specify
neighbours. In some cases, not all routers will be able to
understand multicasting, where packets are sent to a network or
a group of addresses. In a situation where a neighbour cannot
process multicast packets, it is necessary to establish a direct
link between routers. The neighbour command allows the
network administrator to specify a router as a RIP neighbour.
Multiple RIP neighbours are entered using
uci set
and
uci
add_list
commands. Example:
uci set ripd.ripd.neighbor=1.1.1.1
uci add_list ripd.ripd.neighbor=2.2.2.2
or using a list of options via package options
list neighbor ‘1.1.1.1’
list neighbor ‘2.2.2.2’
Web: Update Timer
UCI: ripd.ripd.tb_update_sec
Opt: tb_update_sec
Every update timer seconds, the RIP process is awakened to
send an unsolicited response message containing the complete
routing table to all neighbouring RIP routers.
30
Range
Web: Timeout Timer
UCI: ripd.ripd.tb_timeout_sec
Opt:tb_timeout_sec
Defines timeout in seconds. Upon expiration of the timeout, the
route is no longer valid; however, it is retained in the routing
table for a short time so that neighbours can be notified that the
route has been dropped.
180
Range
Web: Garbage Collect Timer
UCI: ripd.ripd.tb_garbage_sec
Opt: tb_garbage_sec
Upon expiration of the Garbage-Collection timer, the route is
finally removed from the routing table. This timer starts when
Timeout timer expires or when route is advertised as
“unreachable”.
The reason for using this two-stage removal method (marking-
deleting) is to give the router that declared the route no longer
reachable a chance to propagate this information to other
routers. When the timer expires the route is deleted. If during
the garbage collection period a new RIP Response for the route is
received, then the deletion process is aborted: the Garbage-
Collection timer is cleared, the route is marked as valid again,
and a new Timeout timer starts.
